Litvinoff’s statement was made to Japanese Ambassador Tamekichi Ota and followed publication in the official press of the declaration of Joseph Stalin, Soviet leader, that Russia would go to Mongolia’s aid in case that country is invaded. Ambassador Ota called at the For- eign Office to give assurances that the recent Japanese revolt and gov- ernmental changes, would not alter Japan’s foreign policy. Litvinoff also took the opportunity to follow up Stalin’s warning that a conflict might ensue in case Japan- ese Army officers pushed for occu- pation of Outer Mongolia. Oto said he had been instructed by his Government to suggest speedy negotiations and a friendly solution of all outstanding questions with the Soviet Republic.

BERLIN, March 6.—Widespread reports of a speech, on Sunday, of ‘War Minister Werener von Bomberg, who said he was soon to present the nation with a “gift,” probably in the form of a rejection of the Locarno pact, caused observers to believe it possible that Germany will issue a rejection of the Versailles treaty in- sofar as the clauses providing for de- militarization of the Rhineland are concerned. It is possible also that Germany may take up the status of her for- mer colonies. Rumors that Germany and Italy both have been seriously considering denunciation of the Locarno Pact on the ground that it has been vio- lated by other contractihg parties have been current in European capi- tals. TO ASSURE FRANCE LONDON, March 6.—Prime Min- ister Baldwin's cabinet is reported to be studying assurances which it might give France against the eventuality of a collapse of the Lo- carno decision.
